Pope Don went to jail for his "gift" and his threat to my life. He never bothered me again after that incident. I stopped going to the hotsprings via the Moss Ranch around this time. Too many guns and too many wacko people. Willaim's association with violent people like Mark "the cook" and Pope Don Whittington and his continuous rant about "the Growler" is not what I define as peaceful.
I am speaking out on this internet forum not in defence of Mike Castro, but to expose the actions of William and Gail who post here as Katrina. I find the hypocracy of Katrina's moral standards appaling. Taking a stand for honesty and justice is an honerable path, however the true motive of this crusade is appearant. Get even with Mike Castro. Thats what its all about.
I also find it appaling that "Katrina" tries to cover up all of the violent past surrounding William and his associates.
The truth is William used mining laws to squat illegally on Government land and was finally evicted because he never milled a fraction of and ounce of anything while living there. He survived by panhandaling the hotspringers and never did an honest days work as long as I knew him. William learned about mining law from another violent friend of his named Alan Broadnax aka "Cotote". This individual went on to prison for the murder of a man who stumbled upon his meth lab. So this is who we are dealing with here. William and his girlfriend Gail. Not the angels they pretend to be. Mike Castro cut William and Gary Roe out of the deal for the Bowen Ranch and "Katrina" will stop at nothing for revenge.
